LivewireAU Six Pack - Aussie Tunes For Your Inner Monologue

North Star - Azure Ryder

Proving herself again and again to be one of the dreamiest forces in our music scene, singer-songwriter Azure Ryder navigates the delicacy and beauty of love on her new single 'North Star'. Embedding a glittering magic into her poetic lyrics, the celestial motifs throughout 'North Star' reinforce the timeless manner of her discography, alongside the soft power of rejecting the noise in favour of the planetary alignments and pure whimsy. 'North Star' comes with the announcement of Ryder's debut album Even Flowers Can Bruise, set for release this September.

Desire - Selve

Our favourite six piece Gold Coast based indie-rock outfit are back with their gritty new single 'Desire'. Selve have channelled their bold energy and charged performance nature into this release, urging audiences to chase that titular desire with a guitar riff that emulates the pure adrenaline of knowing what you want and going for it. 'Desire' is audiences second taste of Selve's upcoming EP Breaking Outta Heaven, an exciting companion and second chapter to their 2025 album Breaking Into Heaven.

Bitch Face - TIAHN

A breath of fresh air in a music scene oversaturated with love songs and self-deprecating woes, Meanjin's (Brisbane) TIAHN has just dropped a new unapologetic anthem with 'Bitch Face'. A song for anyone who's ever been told that their face has a mind of its own, TIAHN is tapping into a classic tween pop sparkle with her charmingly bratty lyrics and feel-good embrace of unbridled confidence. A sonic throwback to Cassie Davis' 'Like It Loud', 'Bitch Face' is handpicked for your next dramatic singalong session.

Slide - Bianca Mantarro

Get ready to 'Slide' into the night with the funky new pop release from Meanjin (Brisbane) based newcomer, Bianca Mantarro! 'Slide' calls for a stress-free night to shake off the relationship blues, brought to life by Mantarro's full band. Drawing parallels to artists including Raye and Laufey, 'Slide' is a feel good release that you can't help but bop along to.

Mamma Don't Cry - Joan & the Giants

Joan & the Giants are embracing the vulnerable conversations with their emotional yet empowering new single, 'Mamma Don't Cry'. An anthemic release for anyone who had to find out how strong they are through undesirable circumstances, 'Mamma Don't Cry' channels the country-infused power of The Chicks whilst maintaining the alt-pop nature fans have come to love from the group. Joan & the Giants are soaring above any grimaces of pity with this reclamation of self through metamorphosis into a free and self-assured phase.

Hate Myself - Ruel

Stepping into a darker pop realm than ever before, Ruel has given us another addictive taste of part two of his double-album Kicking My Feet & Screaming. 'Hate Myself' dives into a toxic relationship that starts to eat away at you, with spiraling lyrics complimented by the grit of this alternative leaning sonic atmosphere. Ruel's discography depth and growth over his career proves him to be a pinnacle of Australian contemporary pop.
